Exactly what is a salmon mouse?

[Sarah]

Oh let's not start with the typos mister! and I spelled PATE wrong, too

[Jessica]

Well, he didn't notice that cause he's unrefined.

You say that, but one year, we got snowed in (about 3 1/2 feet) on Christmas Day, and had Campbell's Baked Beans, leftover meatloaf turned into sandwiches and canned red beets for vegetables. I would have killed to be able to GET TO a McDonalds.

I had sushi once for Thanksgiving...

I was on vacation with the family, but I'd brought my dog so when they went out to eat, I couldn't go. It wasn't that bad though...it was really good sushi, and a lot of my relatives annoy me. LoL

OK, lemme tell you about my Martha day.

Was dying for a Cuban. Sandwich. Never made one before, no worries, I'm good at new stuff. no pannini press, one cast iron skillet...hmmm, how am I going to press these buggers...ah! Alton Brown, my hero, foil wrapped bricks. Got bricks, got foil, rock on.

Fresh baguette, spicy mustard, ham, thin sliced pork loin, swiss, pickles, dab of butter....wrap and roll the sammies. Nice. Oven set to 400....now, the near death experience.....Decided to lay the pretty wrapped sammies in the cast iron skillet and carry them to the oven to smash the foil wrapped bricks on them to cook. Start pressing... on the open oven door...Bolt SNAPS on the double oven and as the burning hot thing starts for my head, I scream. The whole oven popped out of the wall and about landed on me. Can she cook? oh yeah. Has she brains? oh no. Is there a carpenter in the house? I need a new oven mount.....

Yeah, Sarah ain't so bright. Kind of wish someone from AFV was there to capture it, I would have won the 100k.

(i decided it was best to relocate the skillet and the bricks to the counter for pressing and THEN put the cubans in the oven...der)

But they were awesome.

Who Wants A Cuban? Sandwich.

OMG!!! SARAH!!! Glad you are OK. I'd liked a Cuban sangwich, without so much attempted murder of falling oven in it.

[Basil Dreadflint]

Never heard of Martha climbing IN the oven with whatever she was cooking! Hmmm, Maybe you are a combo of Martha and Tim the Toolman?

[Jessica]

Sylvia Plath, maybe...

Found a new item:

There is a restaraunt I sometimes pass on my way home, it is a chain, called South of the Border.

The food is acceptable, but they have two things that I consider above average:
First; the Queso cheese sauce with the homemade tortilla chips. I have already ordered a quart of the sauce for Superbowl night party.
Even better: One of their deserts, I think they call it Turtle Flautas! Light flaky pastry filled with chocolate turtles. Served steaming hot so that the turtle squirts and oozes when you try to cut it. Pure vanilla ice cream to counteract the melting turtle chocolate. You get 4 in an order, and even I can only eat 2 at a single sitting. (The other two go home for the next day!)

South of the Border...

Is that the place on the NC / SC border? I stay there when driving to WDW in FL and its not bad

[Sarah]

South of the Border's are all over....ugh, that rhymed...sorry. Ooie gooie chocolate, caramel and walnuts...with ice cream....scarape me off the floor.

[TDSChristy]

Ummm anybody else picturing this little guy

while they are reading Basil's turtle dessert description??!!! "Served steaming hot so that the turtle squirts and oozes when you try to cut it."


No?? Must just be me.

Oh and Max, I love those South of the Border signs. They provided loads of entertainment on the long stretch of I95, at least until you passed them by.
